Overview
Abdominal ultrasound scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. Finding on ultrasound of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei are hyper or/and hypoechogenic peritoneal masses or plaques in thickened areas.
Ultrasound
On abdominal ultrasound, pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by:[1]
- Echogenic peritoneal masses or ascites with echogenic, immobile particles (unlike other mobile forms of particulate ascites such as haemoperitoneum or pus in the peritoneum)
- Medial displacement of the small intestinal loops
- U/S may also illustrate scalloping of the liver or spleen
